What is the empirical formula for a compound that is 43.6% phosphorus

Chemistry
1 answer:
Kazeer [188]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

d.   P2O5.

Explanation:

We find the ratio of the atoms by dividing the percentages by the relative atomic masses:

P :  43.6 / 30.974 = 1.4076

O:  56.4 / 15.999 =  3.5252

1.4076 : 3.5252

= 1 : 2.5

= 2:5.

So the answer is P2O5.

A. False. If it is high tide in one place on Earth, the place exactly opposite to it will also have a <em>high</em> tide.

The gravitational attraction of the Moon and the inertia of the oceans cause <em>two tidal bulges </em>on opposite sides of the Earth.

B. True. Cassini used flybys of Venus, Earth and Jupiter as slingshots to reach Saturn.

C. True. The whole solar system moves around the galaxy.

D. True. If a planet’s gravity is not strong enough, the molecules in its atmosphere will have enough kinetic energy to escape into space.

E. False. The <em>mass of an object is constant</em>, but its <em>weight changes</em> according to the gravity of the planet.

F. False. To find the mass of an object, <em>divide</em> its weight by gravity.

F = mg  or weight = mass × gravity

∴ <em>Mass = weight/gravity </em>

NaOH (aq) + HCl(aq) H2O + NaCl (aq)
yuradex [85]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 0.005

Explanation:

Data

Volume of NaOH = 25 ml

[NaOH] = 0.2 M

moles of NaOH = ?

To solve this problem is not necessary to have the chemical reaction. Just use the formula of Molarity and solve it for moles.

Formula

Molarity = moles / volume

-Solve for moles

moles = Molarity x volume

-Convert volume to liters

          1000 ml ---------------- 1 l

              25 ml ---------------- x

               x = (25 x 1) / 1000

               x = 0.025 l

-Substitution

moles = 0.2 x 0.025

-Result

moles = 0.005

1. Calculate the average reaction rate expressed in moles H2 consumed per liter per second.
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

1) 0.0025 mol/L.s.

2) 0.0025 mol/L.s.

Explanation:

  • For the reaction:

<em>H₂ + Cl₂ → 2HCl.</em>

<em></em>

<em>The average reaction rate = - Δ[H₂]/Δt = - Δ[Cl₂]/Δt = 1/2 Δ[HCl]/Δt</em>

<em></em>

<em>1. Calculate the average reaction rate expressed in moles H₂ consumed per liter per second.</em>

<em></em>

The average reaction rate expressed in moles H₂ consumed per liter per second = - Δ[H₂]/Δt = - (0.02 M - 0.03 M)/(4.0 s) = 0.0025 mol/L.s.

<em>2. Calculate the average reaction rate expressed in moles CI₂ consumed per liter per second.</em>

<em></em>

The average reaction rate expressed in moles Cl₂ consumed per liter per second = - Δ[Cl₂]/Δt = - (0.04 M - 0.05 M)/(4.0 s) = 0.0025 mol/L.s.

Select the following statements that are true. Select all that apply.
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

The statements which are true among these are: (a),(b) and (c) because,

(a) The simplest organic compounds which contains only carbon and hydrogen atoms are called hydrocarbons.

(b) The IUPAC naming of organic compounds have some rules for the naming of compounds, which consists of

  • Finding the longest chain present in the compound called parent chain.
  • A prefix for any substituent attach to the parent chain.

And lastly a suffix for the type of bond that molecule have.

(c) Isomers are the compound which same same molecular formula but different arrangement of molecules, due to this different arrangement they have different physical and chemical properties.
